Bulwark founder Sarah Longwell hosts weekly surveys with President Donald Trump supporters. And this week\u2019s inquiry reveals a sea change that\u2019s going to irreparably clobber Trump and the Republican Party in the next few months.<\/p>\n

Read more Trump\u2019s flawed intelligence finally catching up with him as strategy crumbles<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe’ve done a series of focus groups in recent months with a bunch of Zoomers who identify as politically moderate,\u201d said Longwell. \u201c\u2026 With the ones that had voted for Trump, we saw a lot of evidence that the large gap between Trump’s current approval rating and his vote share in 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up definitely more Republican, but just within the last few years, I’ve switched my opinion. I have a lot of liberal friends. We would get in just debates and such. And so my views were definitely more conservative. I have a hard time identifying with that group of people anymore just with how hardcore they’ve been on different things,\u201d said one Trump voting young woman. \u201c\u2026 I don’t agree at all with how they’re targeting the lower- and middle-class people to pay more and the rich get to keep more of their money. It’s extremely unfair. They want to take away different things from the middle and lower class so they don’t have to pay as much. It’s not fair.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another Trump voter \u2014 this time a man \u2014 lamented at the Republican Party\u2019s shocking careen into cult status.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up actually campaigning for Republicans, going door to door, asking people to vote for them. And after I saw the party go from a party to a one-man idolatry worship, I really just felt was not a space for me anymore,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Yet another complained that Trump had put on a \u201cworld police hat\u201d and was following Israel leader Benjamin Netanyahu over a cliff while chasing \u201ca Nobel Peace Prize.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNetanyahu \u2026 unfortunately, I think, is just using Trump for his own personal gain,\u201d the voter told Bulwark.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe’s let me down \u2026 so now I\u2019m more in the moderate position,\u201d confessed another.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a strong Republican in last few years,\u201d said a second female Trump voter, “Specifically with women’s rights, I used to be extremely pro-life, regardless of any situation, and now I have a four-week-old daughter and I cannot fathom her being in a situation where she couldn’t make a choice for herself.\u201d<\/p>\n

That voter said she lives in a majority Muslim community in Dearborn Heights, Mich., where Trump visited to sell his policies to Muslim community leaders. His message was clear enough that new American citizens who never voted before came out to vote specifically for him.<\/p>\n

That, she said, was a huge mistake.<\/p>\n

\u201cI extremely regretted it after the fact,\u201d she said. \u201cI definitely regret this was one of the first times that I was excited enough to go and vote and I deeply regret voting. I wish I would not have.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s favor among young voters has already been collapsing, but the collapse among young Republicans is a new trend, Longwell said. And it\u2019s not just because Trump has singlehandedly devastated their economy. Apparently, it also comes down to the Republican Party\u2019s political inconsistency.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m a Christian so I have a fair mix of Democratic and Republican ideas,\u201d confessed another former Trump voter. \u201cI’m pro-life, but the thing about that is that I think that we also need to do a better job at supporting kids while they\u2019re growing up.\u201d<\/p>\n
